Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Zhang Mo slept comfortably hugging a large heater until she was woken up by her rumbling stomach at the end of the evening. Lu Bu accompanied her to have dinner, and then slowly came out to meet the envoy Zhang Yan.

"What else do you have to say? Say it now, I'm busy!"

The envoy, fearing Lü Bu would retreat into the earthen building and remain silent for a long time, didn't dare to keep the secret. He bowed and said directly, "My lord says that if you abide by the alliance, Heishan is willing to return Zhan County in Shangdang Commandery, as well as the four nearby counties of Lucheng and Gangcheng in Yanmen Commandery. From now on, taxes in these five counties will be levied at the same rates as those in the "One County, Two Systems" system, and no special privileges will be granted."

When the alliance was signed with Zhang Yan, some counties had already been occupied by Heishan, so the tax rate was relatively low. Zhang Yan returned these counties, which was equivalent to increasing tax revenue for Bingzhou.

Lu Bu had no intention of breaking his alliance with Zhang Yan, but he didn't expect that after sleeping with A Mo, he would have an unexpected surprise when he came out. Seeing that Zhang Yan was so worried about whether he would form an alliance with Yuan Shao, Lu Bu had other ideas in his mind.

He walked to the head of the table and sat down, hands behind his back, pretending to be embarrassed. "The Black Mountain bandits have repeatedly plundered Ji and Bing provinces. Although Bing province is currently allied with Zhang Yan, even the strongest alliances will eventually break down. If we wipe them out completely, this scourge will be completely eliminated. This time, Yuan Benchu ​​invited me to join the campaign. Honestly, this opportunity is truly rare."

This was a naked threat, and the envoy's face turned ugly. Before leaving, Zhang Feiyan said that our Heishan could take the initiative to show sincerity to Lu Bu, but would never be threatened. If he went too far, the alliance would be terminated. He, Zhang Yan, had fought for so many years and had seen all kinds of storms. At worst, he would just fight!

The messenger was about to leave when he heard Lu Bu say, "However, I, Lu Fengxian, am a man of my words. Trust and loyalty are what I value most. Since we have already formed an alliance, we will not break it at will. However, the Taihang people are all bandits after all. Even if Zhang Feiyan holds the title of General of the Central Army, he is still the leader of the bandits. I am afraid that if I am trustworthy and the leader is not, I will suffer a great loss!"

"So, if Zhang Feiyan can further strengthen our alliance, in the future, even if the Emperor asks me to suppress the bandits, let alone Yuan Shao, I will refuse without hesitation."

After hearing these words, the envoy's expression relaxed. To be honest, Lu Bu's personality was quite similar to his own boss's. He valued trust and righteousness, but also valued profit. Although he was righteous, he also had a bit of a mean temper.

He bowed and said, "Since the envoy has said so, my lord must naturally show some sincerity. In addition to the five counties just returned, if Bingzhou needs you in the future, all the garrisons participating in the "One County, Two Systems" policy will be at your disposal, including the 4,000 garrisons in Shangai County."

This was equivalent to giving Lu Bu the power to mobilize nearly one-third of the Black Mountain troops. Zhang Yan did this not only to strengthen the alliance, but also because he had long realized that the so-called "one county, two systems" was to absorb his Black Mountain troops. Those people would sooner or later become Lu Bu's men, so it would be better to give them to him quickly.

Although Zhang Yan had never met Lu Bu and didn't know much about him, he had met Zhang Mo. In Zhang Yan's opinion, that woman was narrow-minded, suspicious and a little shameless, but a reasonable person. He, Zhang Yan, has always been the most reasonable, so he is willing to cooperate with people who are equally reasonable.

Zhang Yan's sincerity made Lu Bu quite satisfied. Although the combat effectiveness of those bandits was questionable, they were still much better than ordinary civilians as auxiliary troops.

"Is Zhang Feiyan trying to fool me?" Lu Bu asked with some doubt.

The messenger said, "My lord commands a million Black Mountain bandits and always keeps his word. You can rest assured!"

He pulled out a token from his bosom and said, "This is the Black Mountain Order. With this order, you can command all the bandits in the county. If anyone disobeys the order, you can kill them. My lord will not say a word. If anyone tries to escape back to Black Mountain, my lord will not accept them."

Lü Bulang laughed and said, "Okay, okay, Zhang Feiyan is a straightforward person, and I, Lü Feng, always like to make friends with straightforward people!"

He took the token and said, "From now on, Black Mountain and Bingzhou will be inseparable!"

After receiving the benefit, Lu Bu's attitude became much more enthusiastic. He asked someone to prepare more food for the envoy and invited him to stay overnight.

…………

In Taihang Mountains, Qu Yi's vanguard troops broke through Yu Du's stronghold after two days of fierce attack, killed Yu Du and more than 10,000 young and strong men. After Yuan Shao's troops came to join them, he ordered the massacre of the stronghold and sacrificed the tens of thousands of people in the stronghold to the spirits of his wife and children in heaven.

After defeating Yu Du, Yuan Shao led his troops north to attack Zuo Zhi Zhang Ba. Wherever his troops went, they were victorious. In just a few days, he destroyed Zuo Zhi Zhang Ba's tribe.

Filled with anger and hatred, Yuan Shao turned into a murderous monster, destroying wherever he went. Every time he broke into a camp, he left no one alive, and the Black Mountain bandits were terrified by his killing.

On this day, Yuan Shao integrated his troops and prepared to attack Huang Long's army again, but he heard a soldier outside the tent report that Tao Sheng's army from Heishan had led his men to surrender.

"Want to surrender now? It's too late!"

Yuan Shao sneered, gripping the sword at his waist tightly, and said to the soldiers, "Tell General Qu to chop all those bandits into pieces!"

"This……"

"Father--"

As the soldier was hesitating, he heard a slightly childish voice faintly coming from the distance.

Yuan Shao was suddenly stunned. He was very familiar with this voice. It was his second son Yuan Xi's. Yuan Shao thought that he missed his son too much and had hallucinations.

"Father—Father—"

There were two more calls filled with joy.

The sound came from far away and reached Yuan Shao's ears. This time, in addition to Xi'er, there was also Tan'er's. Yuan Shao's eyes were slightly moist. After a moment, he suddenly turned around and ran out of the military tent quickly.

A group of men and women walked over from outside the camp: the eldest son Yuan Tan, the second son Yuan Xi, as well as the granddaughter, the beautiful concubine, and the eldest daughter-in-law...

Yuan Shao thought he was dazzled again and stood there for a long time without reacting.

"Father, I finally see you again!"

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi walked up, bowed to Yuan Shao, and looked at Yuan Shao with joy in their eyes.

Yuan Shao finally came to his senses. He took two steps closer, stretched out his right hand, and touched the face of his second son Yuan Xi with trembling hands. The warm touch and tender skin were not a dream, but real. His son was not dead, not dead!

Seeing tears flowing from the corners of Yuan Shao's eyes, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi's faces were full of confusion.

"I'm glad you're back! I'm glad you're back..."

Yuan Shao was so happy that his loved ones were resurrected that he could not express it in words. He looked behind him and saw that everyone was there except his wife and little son.

"Where's Shang'er?"

The smile on Yuan Shao's face froze slightly.

Yuan Tan said, "My mother and third brother were taken away by another group of thieves. I don't know where they are now."

Yuan Shao felt like he had fallen from heaven again. After calling Tao Sheng to ask him about it in detail, he felt vaguely uneasy.

Although Tao Sheng said that the other party was also coming to seek refuge in Jizhou, Yuan Shao smelled a hint of conspiracy. He asked the troops to stay where they were and waited for two days with a fluke mentality. However, no one brought Yuan Shang and his mother to seek refuge. Yuan Shao understood that the other party had other purposes in kidnapping his most beloved son.

In addition to Yuan Shang, the families of Tian Feng, Ju Su, Yan Liang and others were also taken away by the bandits that day. Yuan Shao could basically conclude at this time that this was definitely done by the same group of bandits.
